Zooplanktonic and benthic densities and biomasses are the same as before the diversion. |
Protoodinium, Crepidoodinium, Piscinoodinium, and Blastodinium retain their plastids while feeding on their zooplanktonic or fish hosts. |
Zooplanktonic biomass fell somewhat due to the shorter water residence time. |
Fishless lakes had a greater abundance of zooplanktonic organisms and a greater diversity of amphibians than lakes with fish. |
Hence the ZooCAM is an appropriate tool for the development of on board, high frequency, high spatial coverage zooplanktonic and ecosystemic studies. |
Zooplanktonic organisms feed on algae, and all juvenile fish feed on zooplankton, at least as fry or as very young fish. |
